About Cisco Unified CCE (and Unified CCE Engineering Specials)


 

This engineering special adds the ability to send DTMF tones via the Avaya TSAPI Peripheral Gateway(PG) to exercise Take-Back and Transfer feature provided by the carrier network. The DTMF tones may be invoked by the transferring Agent directly using the CTI link interface or by placing a post route call to ICM Router which then returns a label starting with a prefix of “DTMF” followed by the DTMF sequence that needs to be out pulsed by the Avaya Communication Manager (ACM).

With the use of the DTMF label, the following steps are performed when transferring calls inter-switch:

1.      An agent receives an inbound call.

2.      The agent then begins a consultative call or single step transfer by dialling (#8XXX or speed dial #). A new call is initiated that send a Post-Route Request to Unified ICM Router.

3.      Unified ICM response to the Post-Route request is a label of the form DTMF*8xxxxxxxx . The DTMF prefix in the label informs the PIM that it must perform a Carrier Call Transfer by instructing ACM to out-pulse DTMF tones.

Unified CCE Engineering Special Installation Planning


Installing Unified CCE 11.6(2) ES85


Installation of this patch requires all Unified CCE services to be shut down on the PG machine and should hence be carried out in a scheduled maintenance window.

·         Stop the Avaya TSAPI PG service using the Unified CCE Service Control

·         Launch the ICM 11.6(2) ES85 installer and follow the on-screen instructions

·         Start the Avaya TSAPI PG service using the Unified CCE Service Control

Please note: Apply this engineering special on both sides of the duplexed Avaya TSAPI PG pair.

Uninstall Directions for Unified CCE 11.6(2) ES85


  1. To uninstall this patch, go to Control Panel.
  2. Select "Add or Remove Programs".
  3. Find the installed patch in the list and select "Remove".

Note: Remove patches in the reverse order of their installation. For example, if you installed patches 3, then 5, then 10 for a product, you must uninstall patches 10, 5, and 3, in that order, to remove the patches from that product.
